Best Tips for Canoeing Beginners

To help you prepare for your first canoeing London adventure, we’ve compiled the best tips for beginners below:

Know the basic dos and don’ts. Especially if you're new to the world of canoeing, never go alone. It's not just for safety purposes. Paddling in sync on opposite sides of the boat can guarantee stable navigation. When canoeing, make sure to avoid fishing areas to avoid entangling your boat with fishing lines. It’s also not advisable to canoe when there’s heavy rain.

Educate yourself about the basic canoe strokes. Watch online videos or read up resources about the basic canoe strokes to give yourself an idea of how to wade through the waters while paddling a boat. The basic strokes include the forward stroke, the draw stroke, and the J-stroke.

Wear proper attire. For comfortable and safe canoeing, you have to wear proper attire: waterproof trousers and jacket, thermal base layers, and buoyancy aid. If you’re canoeing when the weather is cold, make sure to wear something made of synthetic fabric or wool. Also, apply sunscreen on your skin to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.

Bring along with you a canoeing starter pack. To make the most of your canoeing trip, pack the essentials: waterproof first aid kit, drinking water to keep yourself dehydrated, snacks to keep your tummy happy, map and compass (enclosed in a water-resistant case, which can also contain your camera or phone), and extra clothing.

Be honest about your skill level but don’t forget to enjoy it. Because you’re a beginner, you have to be honest about your canoeing skillset so your guide can better gauge you and teach you. Listen to what they say and follow instructions well. Above all, enjoy — canoeing is a wonderful outdoor adventure that even novices can appreciate.
